Touch The Earth / Intuitive Art Workshop
It is an act of courage just to keep your ear to the ground these days.
We are all in need of time and space to process our feelings through ceremony, creativity and community.
In this daylong we will compost our emotions around our beloved
planet under siege into fertile ground for creative play with word, movement, watercolor and drawing.
Held in an exquisite garden in Sebastopol we begin with earth meditations to ground us, creating a safe,
sacred container for opening pandora's box.
The afternoon session is devoted to nature dialogue with written word and watercolor.
Finally, we come together to process the day, by sharing and listening to the surprising voices that speak
through our creations.
All materials provided. Bring a blanket, lunch, snacks.
No art experience necessary.
This intimate workshop is limited to ten so please reserve a spot early.

Testimonials:
"If, like me, you are struggling to keep your bearings as we witness extinction, political mayhem and climate catastrophe this work Michael provides is something to embrace.
He is a skillful guide blending his intuitive creative process, the work of Joanna Macy, movement and selecting wonderful settings in nature to commune with others treading these troubled waters. It is good medicine and nourishment for the soul in these times!"
Jeff Rooney, Santa Rosa, Ca.
" A fantastic day with wonderful, open new friends in a garden paradise. Michael is an amazing space holder,
guiding us in a powerful ceremony to drop into our feelings about events happening in our world and
then bringing that into painting. Thanks Michael.
Deena Maenad, Graton, Ca.
“The workshop was a wonderful blend of grounding ourselves in the natural world, and from there delving into creativity through watercolor. There was just enough instruction to feel supported, yet freedom to intuitively explore.
Thank you Michael!”
